The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.

What is Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)

Working in conjunction with a psychiatric prescriber to prescribe an oral dosage of the substance, Ketamine, a KAP session consists of 2-3 hours of deep supportive psychotherapy which has been proven to effectively treat numerous difficult conditions such as; depression, anxiety, suicidality, OCD, eating disorders, and PTSD.

Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy works with your mind and spirit to activate your internal healing capabilities and deepen your access to your own heart. The substance acts as a powerful disruption in painful patterns. Often, you are left able to anchor in new internal self-knowledge that supports health and happiness. KAP allows you to tap into your true strengths in profound ways that exponentially accelerate the journey into healing.

Ketamine’s effectiveness depends on cumulative use and psychotherapeutic integration. Your KAP sessions will be scheduled according to your unique needs. A typical course of treatment includes; intake session, preparation sessions in order to identify treatment targets, 4 treatments in a 1-2 week period, and subsequent integration sessions according to individual needs and preferences.

Although I do not accept any forms of insurance, I am able to provide you with a Superbill for your own use as some insurance companies will compensate their members’ costs according to their out of network policies.

Due to the highly specialized and intensive nature of KAP treatment, you can expect to invest anywhere from $2000-$5000 for a full course of treatment. The research demonstrates that Ketamine has a robust and rapid effectiveness in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders.
